GaInNAs/GaAs量子阱的光致发光谱和光调制反射谱

研究了GaInNAs/GaAs多量子阱在不同温度和激发功率下的光致发光(PL)谱以及光调制反射(PR)谱.发现PL谱主发光峰的能量位置随温度的变化不满足Varshni关系,而是呈现出反常的S型温度依赖关系.进一步测量,特别是在较低的激发光功率密度下,发现有两个不同来源的发光峰,它们分别对应于氮引起的杂质束缚态和带间的激子复合发光.随温度变化,这两个发光峰相对强度发生变化,造成主峰(最强的峰)的位置发生切换,从而导致表观上的S型温度依赖关系.采用一个基于载流子热激发和出空过程的模型来解释氮杂质团簇引起的束缚态发光峰的温度依赖关系.

HVPE生长GaN厚膜光致发光特性研究

利用吸收光谱和光致发光(PL)光谱研究了氢化物气相外延(HVPE)法生长的GaN厚膜材料发光特性。研究发现当激发脉冲光源的重复频率较低时,PL光谱中仅能观察到带边发光峰,当重复频率增加时,PL光谱中不仅出现带边发光峰,还可观察到蓝带发光峰和黄带发光峰;随着光源重复频率的增加,带边发光峰与黄带发光峰、蓝带发光峰的光强之比也随着增大。分析认为蓝带发光起源于材料中碳杂质缺陷而黄带发光可能与位错等结构缺陷有关。

弛豫SiGe衬底上SiGe/Si Ⅱ型量子阱

采用UHV/CVD系统,在Si衬底上生长了具有渐变Si1-xGex缓冲层结构的弛豫Si0.76Ge0.24虚衬底和5个周期的Si0.76Ge0.24/Si多量子阱.在渐变Si1-xGex缓冲层生长过程中引入原位退火,消除了残余应力,抑制了后续生长的SiGe中的位错成核.透射电子显微照片显示,位错被有效地限制在组份渐变缓冲层内,而SiGe上层和SiGe/Si量子阱是无位错的.在样品的PL谱中,观察到跃迁能量为0.961eV的Ⅱ型量子阱的无声子参与(NP)发光峰.由于Ⅱ型量子阱中电子和空穴不在空间同一位置,较高光功率激发下引起的高浓度载流子导致能带弯曲严重.NP峰随激发功率增加向高能方向移动,在一定激发条件下,电子跃迁或隧穿至弛豫SiGe层弯曲的导带底后与处于同一位置的空穴复合发光,所以NP峰积分强度随光激发功率先增加后减小.     

InPBi禁带下红外光致发光效率的Bi组分依赖研究

稀Bi半导体InPBi的光致发光（Photoluminescence, PL）主要来自缺陷能级跃迁过程,具有红外长波长、大线宽和高辐射强度等特点,因而引发广泛兴趣。针对InPBi的红外发光效率问题,本文研究了不同Bi组分InPBi的激发功率依赖红外PL光谱演化规律。实验发现,随着Bi组分增大,PL线型发生显著变化,导致发光波长总体红移;同时激发功率依赖的PL积分强度演化分析表明,发光效率随Bi组分先增大然后下降,在0.5%组分时发光效率达到峰值。发光效率增大一方面归因于Bi捕获空穴降低非辐射复合,另一方面来自Bi的表面活性剂效应;而高Bi组分引入过多缺陷从而抑制了Bi的优势,导致发光效率下降。这些结果或有助于理解InPBi的红外发射性能,表明InPBi具有红外光电子应用前景。

掺氮ZnSe外延层的光致发光研究

(113)B和(100)面InAs/GaAs量子点光致发光光谱特性研究

利用分子束外延技术在(100)和(113)B GaAs衬底上进行了有/无AlAs盖帽层量子点的生长,测量了其在4～100 K温度区间的PL光谱。通过对PL光谱的积分强度、峰值能量和半高宽进行分析进而研究载流子的热传输特性。无AlAs盖帽层的(113)B面量子点的PL光谱的热淬灭现象可以由载流子极易从量子点向浸润层逃逸来解释。然而,有AlAs盖帽层的(113)B量子点的PL热淬灭主要是由于载流子进入了量子点与势垒或者浸润层界面中的非辐射中心引起的。并且其PL的温度依存性与利用Varshni定律计算的体材料InAs的温度依存性吻合很好,表明载流子通过浸润层进行传输受到了抑制,由于AlAs引起的相分离机制(113)B量子点的浸润层已经消失或者减小了。(100)面有AlAs盖帽层的PL半高宽的温度依存性与无AlAs盖帽层的量子点大致相同,表明在相同外延条件下相分离机制在(100)面上不如(113)B面显著。     

Effect of band shapes on carrier distribution at high temperature

This paper indicates both experimentally and graphically how the distribution of carriers changes above a critical temperature Tc, which is related to the density of states ρ in the band tails. Thus,kT_{c} = E_{0}, whererho = rho_{0} exp (DeltaE/E_{0}). The emission spectrum shifts with changing excitation (band filling) at lower temperatures (T < T_{c}) and stays at a constant value independent of excitation at higher temperatures (T > T_{c}). Experimental results of photoluminescence studies with GaAs crystals show that the quantity E0, obtained from the dependence of the peak energy upon the degree of excitation is the same as the quantitykT'_{c}, obtained from the dependence of the peak energy upon temperature. This is in agreements with the analysis. For lasing diodes, the threshold will increase steeply with increasing temperature above Tc, if the excited carriers are located mostly in the exponential states of the band tail.E_{0} = (10 sim 20)meV and Tc= (120 sim 250degK) are typical for crystals of heavily compensated GaAs.     

In-situ monitoring, structural, and optical properties of ultrathin GaSb/GaAs quantum wells grown by OMVPE

We present a study of the growth of strained ultrathin GaSb quantum well (QW) layers in a GaAs host crystal by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE). We report surface anisotropy features observed by reflectance difference spectroscopy (RDS) during exposure of the GaAs (001) surface to trimethylantimony (TMSb) and during subsequent growth interruption. We demonstrate the formation of a floating layer of Sb during growth of GaAs over GaSb quantum well layers. The periodic nature of the RDS signal during growth of multiple quantum well (MQW) structures allows us to construct time-resolved RDS spectra, detailing the evolution of the surface anisotropy. We show how x-ray diffraction (XRD) data may be used to determine the graded compositional profile resulting from Sb segregation at the GaAs/GaSb interface. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra at 2 K from MQW structures exhibit two peaks below the GaAs bandgap. The lower-energy peak, which we attribute to a type-II transition at the GaSb/GaAs interface, shifts logarithmically with excitation power density. The higher energy peak shows no shift with excitation power, and is attributed to a transition occurring within the graded barrier layers.     

Effects of Rapid Thermal Annealing on Optical Properties of GaInNAs/GaAs Single Quantum Well Grown by Plasma-Assisted Molecular Beam Epitaxy

The effects of Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA) on the optical properties of GaInNAs/GaAs Single Quantum Well (SQW) grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy are investigated. Ion removal magnets were applied to reduce the ion damage during the growth process and the optical properties of GaInNAs/GaAs SQW are remarkably improved.RTA was carried out at 650℃ and its effect was studied by the comparising the roomtemperature PhotoLuminescence (PL) spectra for the non ion-removed (grown without magnets) sample with for the ion-removed (grown with magnets) one. The more significant improvement of PL characteristics for non ion-removed GaInNAs/GaAs SQW after annealing (compared with those for ion-removed) indicates that the nonradiative centers removed by RTA at 650℃ are mainly originated from ion damage. After annealing the PL blue shift for non ionremoved GaInNAs/GaAs SQW is much larger than those for InGaAs/GaAs and ion-removed GaInNAs/GaAs SQW. It is found that the larger PL blue shift of GaInNAs/GaAs SQW is due to the defect-assisted In-Ga interdiffusion rather than defect-assisted N-As interdiffusion.     

Effect of excitation level on the optical properties of GaAs/AlGaO microdisks with an active region containing InAs quantum dots

The effect of the excitation level on the intensity and width of whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) lines in microdisks with an asymmetric air/GaAs/AlGaO waveguide and an active region containing InAs quantum dots is studied using microphotoluminescence spectroscopy. At high pump levels, overheating of the active region takes place, which leads to a long-wavelength shift of the gain spectrum; in addition, the shape of the spectrum changes due to the saturation of the ground and excited states and to many-particle interactions. As a consequence, the behavior of intensities and linewidths of WGMs as functions of the optical-pump power density is determined by the spectral positions of the modes with respect to the gain peaks and may differ considerably for different modes. The long-wavelength shift of WGM lines caused by active-region overheating is partially compensated by a short-wavelength shift, which occurs due to the dependence of the effective refractive index of the waveguide on the concentration of free charge carriers.

Photoluminescent properties of ZnO thin films grown on SiO2/Si(100) by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

We report on the photoluminescent (PL) properties of ZnO thin films grown on SiO₂/Si(100) substrates using low pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The growth temperature of the films was as low as 400°C. From the PL spectra of the films at 10–300 K, strong PL peaks due to free and bound excitons were observed. The origin of the near bandedge emission peaks was investigated measuring temperature-dependent PL spectra. In addition, the Zn O films demonstrated a stimulated emission peak at room temperature. Upon illumination with an excitation density of 1 MW/cm², a strong, sharp peak was observed at 3.181 eV.

主要通过光致发光的实验手段,研究分析了在自支撑GaN衬底上生长的InGaN/GaN多量子阱(InGaN/GaN MQW)有源层中的载流子复合机制,实验中发现多量子阱的光致发光光谱中有一个与有源区中的深能级相关的额外的发光峰。在任何温度大功率激发条件下,自由激子的带边复合占主导地位,并且带边复合的强度随温度或激发功率的下降而减弱;在室温以下小功率激发条件下,局域化能级引入的束缚激子复合占主导地位,其复合强度随温度的下降而单调上升,随激发功率的下降而上升。带边复合在样品温度上升或者激发功率变大时发生蓝移,而局域的束缚激子复合辐射的峰值波长,随样品温度和激发功率的变化没有明显变化。     

Optical and structural properties of InAs quantum dot arrays grown in an InxGa1−x As matrix on a GaAs substrate

Structural and optical properties of InAs quantum dots (QDs) deposited on the surface of a thick InGaAs metamorphic layer grown on a GaAs substrate have been studied. The density and lateral size of QDs are shown to increase in comparison with the case of QDs grown directly on a GaAs substrate. The rise of In content in the InGaAs layer results in the red shift of the photoluminescence (PL) line, so that with 30 at % indium in the metamorphic layer the PL peak lies at 1.55 μm. The PL excitation spectroscopy of the electronic spectrum of QDs has shown that the energy separation between the sublevels of carriers in QDs decreases as the In content in the InGaAs matrix increases. __________ Translated from Fizika i Tekhnika Poluprovodnikov, Vol. 38, No. 7, 2004, pp. 867–871.
